who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.

在本丟彼拉多手下受難,
被釘十字架 受死 埋葬

On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
he will come to judge the living and the dead.

升天
坐在全能父上帝的右邊.

Why do we need the gospel? 為什麼我們需要福音？

Without it, we can only expect punishment and anger from God.
For we all have rejected God’s way to live our own way.

沒有它，我們只能期待來自上帝的懲罰和憤怒。

Why do we need the gospel? 為什麼我們需要福音？

“We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
我們眾人都如羊走迷了路，
各人偏行己路；

and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.”
耶和華卻把我們眾人的罪孽,
都歸在他身上。
(Isaiah 以賽亞書 53:6)

Hold on to the Gospel 堅持福音

++6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.

6我很驚奇，你們這麼快就離開了藉著基督的恩呼召你們的那一位，去歸向別的福音。7其實那並不是另一個福音，只是有些攪擾你們的人，想把基督的福音改變。

Hold on to the Gospel 堅持福音

8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!

8但無論是我們，或是從天上來的使者，如果傳給你們的和我們以前傳給你們的福音不同，他就該受咒詛。9我們已經說過，現在我要再說，如果有人傳給你們的和你們以前所領受的福音不同，他就該受咒詛。

10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

10我現在是要得人的歡心，還是要得　神的歡心呢？難道我想討人歡喜嗎？如果我仍然要討人歡喜，就不是基督的僕人了。
